The G50 on the other hand, has 4 years of security updates with 2 Android version upgrades, meaning it would get security updates until the 4th year of release. The extra RAM of 2GB and 128GB UFS storage would make a significant impact in day to day performance and longetivity.
It's definitely not bad getting a slightly older phone, because security updates don't make a significant impact on mobile phone use, and I still manage with a phone that's about to turn 7 years this year.
If you like Motorola, I highly suggest you to get a mid-range phone, because low end Motorolas are of poor value from my perspective.

It lacks more of the features that I want than the MGP, and it's probably gotten its last OS update on Android 13 while the MGP should get some on top of A13. So MGP is still the likely candidate for me.

Very ironic for a brand, that basically is the second biggest computer manufacturer in the world.

Trying to shrink this bezel by fitting the connector into a tighter area or bending it increases your r&d costs, and to Motorola, it’s not worth passing these costs onto the consumer in the competitive budget phone market.

I am probably going to get this. I was hoping to buy the G84 but it's too impractical and uneconomical to go for that as a budget phone. It seems to be only available in India, and maybe the UK? I wanted it because it's the only recent device that meets my desired feature set criteria at a relatively affordable price range. MGP 2024 lacks OLED, but it's the closest thing out there to the G84 for a lower price and it's a US-Canada release too. I'm very glad to see Motorola offering this kind of value proposition.

Why not move the front camera to the bezel and make the top & bottom bezel equal in height?

This is a big upgrade in almost every way imaginable. I'm surprised it even has stereo speakers. Considering the G Play typically goes way below $100 in the US after some time and then competes with the Redmi A series basically, this is amazing.

Android isn't the main smartphone platform and a decent majority of Android phones here are low-end bottom of the barrel junk. There's not much of an incentive to make competitive devices.

There are a few exceptions (Nokia G310 and Galaxy A14 5G) but Motorola in particular is really stingy about it. I have no idea why, considering that it probably adds maybe $5 to the cost of the phone.

What a absolute clunker. Outdated CPU. Android 13 even though 14 is out so its getting the one os update scam. 720P res screen in 2024 gross. 4gig ram so only enough to run the O.S. and nothing else. Why call it Play when you cant play anything on it?
